  2. What is StartMenuExperienceHost.exe

    Hello,

    AFAIK, StartMenuExperienceHost.exe is separate process for Start Menu and is an integral part of Windows 10. In earlier versions of Windows 10, Start Menu used Windows Shell Experience Host (ShellExperienceHost.exe). However, to improve
    the performance of Start Menu, StartMenuExperienceHost.exe was introduced.

    Hope this answers your query!
